The deadline for a consultation asking people what they think of closing ticket office windows, including at Exmouth railway station, has been extended to 1 September.

It comes as part of plans to close hundreds of ticket offices in England over the next three years as more fares are paid digitally.

Ticket office staff at smaller stations would take on "multi-skilled" roles and be available to sell tickets on station platforms instead.

At Exmouth railway station, 28 per cent of tickets were sold at the ticket office window, 30.8 per cent at the ticket vending machine, and 41.2 per cent booked online in the 2022/23 financial year.

The average of tickets sold at ticket offices is less than 15 per cent, GWR said.
